Europol warns that artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a catalyst for organized crime in Europe. The characteristics of AI, such as accessibility, versatility, and sophistication, make it a very attractive tool for criminal organizations. Europol's report highlights the challenges posed by this new threat to European security. AI can be used for illegal activities such as hacker attacks, malware, phishing, and the creation of deepfakes, thereby increasing the risks to infrastructures and cybersecurity.
